Description: | A complete cast copper alloy seal matrix of medieval date. The matrix has a flat and circular face with a central motif and surrounding legend. The surface is very worn making interpretation difficult. The motif may be that of a swan with head turn looking back on itself however the legend is unreadable.From the reverse a rib runs across the seal centrally from which a circular lug projects from what would be the top of the seal. The metal is a dark brownish-green colour and is worn. The seal is 14.2mm in diameter, 2.6mm thick (7mm including loop) and weighs 3.3g.
